Description
- The present disclosure relates to a sprinkler and more particularly to a single or dual sided direction-controllable sprinkler.
- Conventional sprinklers employ a single trigger switch to control the directions of sprinkling of a sprinkler, such as disclosed in
U.S. Patent No. 7,607,590 . InU.S. Patent No. 7,909,266 , two trigger switches are employed to control the directions of sprinkling of sprinklers on two sides. The upward or outward sprinkling direction of the sprinkler is controlled by the triggering of the trigger switches. - However, the trigger switch of conventional sprinklers only allows triggering in a single way. The single trigger switch can only control to sprinkle outwardly or upwardly. As for the two trigger switches, it needs to trigger two times to achieve the same effect if the sprinkling directions on the two sides are the same. It is inconvenient to use.
- A single or dual sided direction-controllable sprinkler embodying aspects of the present invention comprises a main body with an accommodation chamber disposed inside, a water inlet being disposed on a side of the accommodation chamber, and a plurality of water outlets being disposed on a top of the accommodation chamber; two rotatable trigger portions slidably disposed on the main body, a plurality of slant guiding openings corresponding to the water outlets being disposed on the trigger portions, the water outlets going through the guiding openings, the slant angles of the water outlets being changed by positions of the guiding openings, and a trigger protrusion being protruded from each of two sides of each of the trigger portions; at least one fastener disposed on one of the trigger portions and selectively fixed with the other trigger portion, when the other trigger portion being limited by the fastener, the two trigger portions having the same rotational position, and when the other trigger portion being not limited by the fastener, the rotational positions of the two trigger portions being controlled independently; and a cover disposed with a plurality of direction guiding holes, and the water outlets going through the direction guiding holes.
- When the fastener of the single or dual sided direction-controllable sprinkler of the present invention is not connected with the trigger portions, the positions of the two trigger portions are adjusted separately to control the sprinkling directions. When the fastener is fixedly connected with the trigger portions, the positions of the two trigger portions are adjusted simultaneously to achieve synchronous effect.

Atrigger protrusion 32 is protruded from each of two sides of each of thetrigger portions 30. Thetrigger protrusion 32 comprises anarm 321 and a connectingsection 322. Thearm 321 is roughly perpendicular to themain body 10. The connectingsection 322 is extended from a free end of thearm 321 towards theother arm 321 so that the two connectingsections 322 are disposed close to each other. When thetrigger portions 30 are positioned in a same way, positions of the two connectingsections 322 are also in a same way. The connectingsection 322 of one of the twotrigger portions 30 has aslide rail 323. In an embodiment, thetrigger portions 30 comprise a pair of guides disposed on the main body and having a plurality of angled guide openings through which the nozzles extend for adjusting the angles of the nozzles. In this embodiment, the guides are independently rotatable relative to the main body and each of the guides has a trigger extending from it. The trigger of one of the guides is configured for selectively engaging the trigger of the other of the guides in a mating relationship. - Please refer to
Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the fastener and the trigger protrusion of the preferred embodiment of the single or dual sided direction-controllable sprinkler of the present invention. Thefastener 40 has agroove 41, and alimitation piece 42 is protrudingly disposed inside thegroove 41. Thelimitation piece 42 is slidably and limitedly disposed on theslide rail 323 of the connectingsection 322 in order to allow thefastener 40 to slide on the connectingsection 322. Thefasteners 40 are selectively fixed with theother trigger protrusion 32 so that the twotrigger protrusions 32 are coupled or separated. An area of thegroove 41 is close to that of the connectingsection 322. The other connectingsection 322 can also be securely and limitedly connected with thegroove 41. In an embodiment, thefastener 40 is configured for selectively securing the triggers in the mating relationship such that the guides have the same rotatable position when the triggers are secured in the mating relationship by the fastener and are independently controllable when the triggers are not secured in the mating relationship by the fastener. - The
cover 50 is disposed with a plurality of direction guiding holes 51. Thewater outlets 23 go through the direction guiding holes 51. The positions of thewater outlets 23 are changed along the longitudinal shape of the direction guiding holes 51. - In order to further explain the structures and characteristics of the present invention, as well as the technical means and expected effects; the ways of usage are specifically described hereunder for in-depth understanding.
- Please refer to
Figs. 3A to 3D and4A to 4D . When thefasteners 40 are not connected with the two closely disposed connectingsections 322, the twotrigger portions 30 are operated separately for adjusting sprinkling positions. Thetrigger portions 30 are facing outward or upward at the same time; or one of thetrigger portions 30 is facing upward, while theother trigger portion 30 is facing outward. Each of thetrigger portions 30 is adjusted individually. Therefore, four different sprinkling combinations are available to meet different requirements and needs. - When the two
trigger portions 30 are needed to connect together, set the twotrigger portions 30 at a same sprinkling position, and move thefasteners 40 along theslide rail 323 so that the other connectingsection 322 is guided inside thegroove 41. The two closely disposed connectingsections 322 are limited and fixed by thefastener 40. Because the area of thegroove 41 is close to that of the connectingsection 322, thefastener 40 is securely disposed on the connectingsection 322 and does not detach from each other after thefastener 40 is connected with the other connectingsection 322. After the connectingsection 322 is limited by thefastener 40, the twotrigger portions 30 have the same sprinkling position. Please refer toFigs. 5A, 5B ,6A and 6B . Thetrigger portions 30 are facing upward or outward at the same time. When the same sprinkling direction of the twotrigger portions 30 is required, simply adjust one of the twotrigger protrusions 32 in order to have two of thetrigger portions 30 adjusted simultaneously. There is no need to adjust the sprinkling position separately. Therefore, steps required for adjusting are reduced and the inaccuracy of sprinkling position between the twotrigger portions 30 is also reduced. - Note that the specifications relating to the above embodiments should be construed as exemplary rather than as limitative of the present invention, with many variations and modifications being readily attainable by a person of average skill in the art without departing from the spirit or scope thereof as defined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
